The modified date for whatsnew.pl should be an immediate clue. The 3.2 version of htdig didn't start to be developed until the last couple years, and whatsnew.pl hasn't even kept up with early developments in the 3.1.x series in 2999, so it's pretty hopeless to try to get it to work with 3.2. There is a different whatsnew script on ftp.ccsf.org that can handle 3.1.x databases, but it's a bit tricky to get it to work because it requires special Perl libraries. There's nothing equivalent for 3.2. I've proposed modifications to htsearch (for 3.1 and 3.2) which would allow it to be used as part of a what's new facility. As an integral part of the main source tree, it would be able to keep up with new developments and changes to the database structures. However, these modifications have yet to be developed. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/~grdetil Dept.
